Vintage Knopped Baluster Brass Candlesticks - A Patinated Pair
There is a distinct difference between modern, factory-lacquered brassware and a pair of candlesticks that have clearly seen decades of real domestic service. This vintage pair of cast brass candlesticks embraces the traditional, classic knopped baluster form, anchored by wide circular bases designed to keep them perfectly upright on a busy table.
Completely free of maker's marks or stamps, they carry a solid, reassuring weight that suggests mid-20th-century production. Left unpolished, they have developed a deep, honey-golden tone that only comes with time, offering an immediate sense of warmth to a mantelpiece or dining setting.
Honest Anatomy:
These have been used exactly as intended and are wonderfully, honestly weathered. The brass surfaces carry a scattering of small dings, light historical dents, and surface scuffs from years of being handled and cleaned of wax. Crucially, one base has a small indentation or subtle flat spot along its circular rim edge. They remain entirely sound, sit level, and hold standard candles straight without any wobble.
Dimensions:
• Base Diameter: 11 cm (approx. 4.3 inches)
• Total Height: 21.5 cm (approx. 8.5 inches)
